Jessica + David’s Wedding Teaser
Woelfel Wedding Short Teaser from Envisioned Studios on Vimeo.
I had the opportunity to shoot the Jessica Young / David Woelfel wedding with a camera Op from Denver this past week. It was great getting to see the personality of the couple and their community up close and personal. He (David) works for the Ted Stevens International Airport and She (Jessica) works as a Firewoman. During the early parts of the day, we followed them from location to location as they prepared for the biggest day of their lives. With the nature of wedding cine-journalism, there was plenty to capture (My B-Angle Camera Operator, April Frame, reports having captured 5hrs of RAW HD Content at the end of the day.) but we also had plenty of chances to stop and set up some fun shots with both the couple and their respective bridal and groomsmen parties. I recall some of the funnest shots including the boys sitting at the couples house killing time with the Nintendo Wii, and the girls out on the lawn with their flowers.David and his Groomsmen all had swords with them through the ceremony. Part of being a Wedding Cinematographer is being flexible and learning about the couple & their specific interests. At one point, we had 2 cameras rolling in 60p Over-cranked Slow-Motion while all 7 of them ran through a choreographed sword fight in the front lawn at David’s Parents Bed and Breakfast (Alpine Rose Inn).
As always, I’m not the only creative mind out on the shoot. Though I have been doing these wedding productions for years, I’m confident that those I bring with me bring as good if not better solutions than I do. This wedding was no exception. I had April Frame of A-Frame Productions with me and she did a great job coming up with really fun ideas for formal slow motion shots and general establishing shots along with great coverage of the Ceremony and the Reception.
Some of my favorite attributes to their wedding day included the Cake, Fire Engines, Fireman’s Axe, plenty of sporty Sun-Glasses, knives, and a whole lot more. An example of their creativity: the cake was half edible and half burning-building with flames, flashing lights, miniature fire engine, and heroic firemen.
